In this ground-breaking book, Derek B. Scott examines the cultural transfer of operetta from the German stage to Britain and the USA and offers a historical and critical survey of these operettas and their music. In the period 1900–1940, over sixty operettas were produced in the West End, and over seventy on Broadway. A study of these stage works is important for the light they shine on a variety of social topics of the period – from modernity and gender relations to new technology and new media – and these are investigated in the individual chapters. This book is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core at doi.org/10.1017/9781108614306. derek b. scott is Professor of Critical Musicology at the University of Leeds.

JUNI 2016 IM STAATSTHEATER NÜRNBERG Konzeption und Leitung: Anno Mungen (Forschungsinstitut für Musiktheater der Universität Bayreuth) Johann Casimir Eule (Staatstheater Nürnberg) In Zusammenarbeit mit LEICHTE MUSE IM WANDEL DER ZEITEN : GRUSSWORT : LEICHTE MUSE IM WANDEL DER ZEITEN GRUSSWORT Wohl kaum eine Stadt in Deutschland ist mit der Ideologie des Natio- nalsozialismus so eng verbunden wie Nürnberg. Die damaligen Städtischen Bühnen waren bei den Reichsparteitagen durch ihre räumliche Nähe zu den täglichen Aufmärschen vor Adolf Hitlers Residenz im Hotel Deutscher Hof und durch Festaufführungen u. a. von „Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg“ Teil einer politischen Inszenierung und standen nicht nur in dieser Zeit im besonderen Blickpunkt der NS-Führung. Die Aufarbeitung dieser Zeit, der Verbindung von Politik und Kunst und damit der Rolle unseres Opernhauses in der NS-Diktatur ist uns ein großes Anliegen. Ich freue mich daher sehr, dass wir das Forschungsinstitut für Musik- theater Bayreuth und seinen Leiter Prof. Dr. Anno Mungen gewinnen konnten, ein Forschungsprojekt ins Leben zu rufen, das die Rolle des Theaters aber auch die Funktion von theatralen Inszenierungen in Nürnberg in der NS-Zeit untersuchen wird. Dieses Forschungsprojekt „Inszenierung von Macht und Unterhaltung. Propaganda und Musiktheater in Nürnberg 1920-1950“ wurde bereits 2014 ins Leben gerufen und erhielt 2016 die Zusage für eine Förderung durch die Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG). In Zusammenarbeit zwi- schen dem Staatstheater Nürnberg, dem Forschungsinstitut für Musiktheater und dem Dokumentationszentrum Reichsparteitage werden die Ergebnisse 2018 in einer Ausstellung der Öffentlichkeit vorgestellt.

Programs of the Bard Music Festival offer a point of view. The intimate communication of recital and chamber music and the excitement of full orchestral and choral works are complemented by informative preconcert talks, panel discussions by renowned musicians and scholars, and special events. In addition, each season Princeton University Press publishes a book of essays, translations, and correspondence relating to the festival’s central figure. By providing an illuminating context, the festival encourages listeners and musicians alike to rediscover the powerful, expressive nature of familiar compositions and to become acquainted with less well-known works. Since its inaugural season, the Bard Music Festival has entered the worlds of Brahms, Mendelssohn, Richard Strauss, Dvorˇák, Schumann, Bartók, Ives, Haydn, Tchaikovsky, Schoenberg, Beethoven, Debussy, Mahler, Janácˇek, Shostakovich, Copland, Liszt, Elgar, Prokofiev, Wagner, Berg, Sibelius, Saint-Saëns, Stravinsky, Schubert, Carlos Chávez, Puccini, Chopin, Rimsky-Korsakov, and Korngold.
